Shower Installation in Hitchin

A shower in Hitchin has to cope with some of the hardest chalk water in Hertfordshire. Whether your shower has packed in, you're fed up with the bath, or you just want something better — the installers we connect you with fit showers properly. Not a handyman job with sealant and hope. Proper plumbing, proper tiling, proper waterproofing.

Most Hitchin shower swaps are clean, tidy, one-day jobs. Most shower replacements are clean, tidy jobs with minimal disruption. You tell us what you want, your installer quotes it and fits it. If the old tray is cracked or the tiles behind are blown, that gets sorted too — not just swapping the unit and leaving you with problems behind the wall.

Bath-to-shower conversions are among the most-asked jobs across Hitchin. Bath-to-shower conversions are one of our most popular jobs across Hitchin. Plenty of homes in Oughtonhead, Walsworth, and the town centre have a bathroom with a bath that nobody uses. Ripping it out and fitting a proper walk-in shower gives you more space, easier access, and a bathroom that actually works for how you live. Your installer handles the full job — removal, plumbing, floor prep, tray, tiling, screen, and the shower unit itself.

There’s no dodging the chalk water when you fit a shower in Hitchin. Hard water in Hitchin is the elephant in the room for any shower install. Affinity Water's chalk supply destroys cheap shower heads and shower mixer cartridges within a couple of years, so good-quality scale-resistant components are recommended for any new shower install. If you want longer-term protection for the install, we can also talk you through whether a water softener is worth fitting at the same time — it pays for itself in extended life on every fitting in the bathroom.

Shower Installation Questions

A straightforward like-for-like shower replacement typically takes half a day. If the tray is being replaced, pipework moved, or retiling needed, it's usually a full day. Bath-to-shower conversions take 2–4 days depending on the scope.
Yes. The installer we connect you with removes the bath, caps or reroutes the plumbing, prepares the floor, fits a shower tray, tiles the walls, and installs the shower unit and screen. The space where the bath was gives you a generous shower area.
It depends on your system. Electric showers heat water on demand from the cold supply, so they work independently of your boiler. Mixer showers blend hot and cold from your existing supply and generally give better flow and pressure. Your installer will advise based on your setup.
Electric showers need their own dedicated circuit from the consumer unit. If your existing circuit can handle the kW rating, your installer connects to that. If not, or if you're upgrading to a higher-powered unit, a new circuit may be needed — the electrical work is arranged as part of the job.
Absolutely. An over-bath shower is the most common setup in the UK. Your installer fits the shower unit, installs a bath screen or rail, and tiles the surround. It gives you the best of both without losing the bath.
Yes. The shower area can be tiled as part of the install — walls behind the shower, around the tray, and any exposed areas. Your installer uses waterproof adhesive and grout rated for wet environments. If you want full wall tiling, that can be done too.
Low pressure is common in older Hitchin properties. Options include a pumped shower, a pressurised unvented cylinder, or an electric shower which doesn't rely on stored hot water pressure at all. Your plumber tests your pressure and recommends the best solution.
Yes — Walsworth, Oughtonhead, Ickleford, Letchworth, Baldock, Stevenage, and all the villages around Hitchin.
